I'm glad they did that. R4 cards and the like are just annoying and pointless. The emulators used on the wii or 3DS for their VC services are one thing but either way, pirating to not spend money is bad.

If you want to play it, buy it. Same for any media. Because of how easy piracy and emulation is some people think its just all right if they do it. The ease by which you or many people come by it does not justify the practice.

The discussion at hand is about a gentleman in Tokyo who's been arrested under the new laws for selling flashcarts, not about the 'personal backup copy' gray area. Thank you for letting us know about this landmark case, Reala, hopefully Nintendo will be able to get pirates where it hurts — through their enablers.
